Dredd 3D-review

The 2012 movie Dredd
3D is based on the British comic Judge Dredd. The story was brought once to the screen in
1995. This time with great characters,
great effects, and a mood that is very self-aware. Dredd3D also utilized its
gimmick of 3D and made for an amazing action packed siege movie.

Judge Dredd, played by Karl Urban, is training his new
rookie judge, played Olivia Thiriby. While
investigating a murder in a huge tenement building, they find that a criminal
named Ma-Ma, played by Lena Headey, is running a drug empire inside and wants
them dead. They become locked inside the
building as the criminals go on an all-out attack on the Judges.

The effects are really cool.
They use a lot of slow motion effects with a new fictional drug that
slow the down brain. With the 3D effects
it looks really cool though. There are
many really amazing, violent gunshots and that are shown in gory detail.

The mood is dark and fun.
There is humor weaved within the story that really makes the story seem
self-aware of being a fun action movie.
It keeps a sharp pace and keeps the action moving from the beginning to
the end. The script is decent and is very original for an action movie.

Karl Urban is great as Judge Dredd. He brings a great face to an otherwise
faceless character. His rookie
character, Olivia Thiriby, plays a great psychic, mutant with a backstory that
doesn’t take over the storyline. Lena
Headey is a chilling and very believable villain. As a whole, the cast did a great job bringing
life to this explosive movie.

I totally recommend this movie. Dredd
3D is a wildly fun action movie and is a blast to watch. If you are looking for something different
and something that is full of fast-paced action, you will enjoy this
movie. Hopefully this movie will find
its audience soon. It is the sort of
movie we really need to see released more often.
